GOING: S(5)

Happy 50th Coxy Class 4 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.3).  

Stick To Your Guns and Chill Out Miss will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. CUSACK (3) brings strong city form to resumption. Was narrowly beaten twice at Eagle Farm late in this last preparation and performs fresh. Has an inside gate and the in-form Butler is a key jockey booking. STICK TO YOUR GUNS (2) won a CL3 here as expected. He is still shy of his peaks and Stanley goes on for Wiggins. Has been kept on the fresh side and would be a chance finding his best. FIGHT IN THE DOG (9) has been knocking on the door in easier grade. Gets a stack of weight relief and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Cusack.
